FreeBSD 4.5 (and later) cvs has a feature for playing with CVS/Template:
-T Create/Update CVS/Template by copying it from the
(local) repository. This option is useful for
developers maintaining a local cvs repository but
commiting to a remote repository. By maintaining
CVS/Template the remote commits will still be able
to bring up the proper template in the commit edi-
tor session. Available with the checkout and
update commands.
that does allow for the updating of CVS/Template files. It seems like a
good idea to me as there are other reasons (such as the administrator
updating the rcsinfo file) for the local CVS/Template to be updated.
If you wish to take a look at the FreeBSD sources for cvs, you may find
the information you need by going to the URL:
http://www.freebsd.org/support.html#cvs
The feature was added to the RELENG_4 branch on 2001-09-21 18:00:30 UTC.
Enjoy!
